@scritty: ah, but don't forget 4 of those wide longhops will be out of the back of the hand, and variation is more important in T20 than being able to bowl vaguely accurately, apparently.

I can't believe Dernbach was in the team. Do they think New Zealand are worried by 5 wide long-hops an over? Get him out QUICKLY.

Wouldn't mind seeing him get a game - Dernbach has to be on his last chance, and Meaker shouldn't be in the T20 squad anyway (his domestic economy rate is nearly 10 an over!). Harris isn't a particularly good T20 bowler either, but he'll be knocking on the door of the Test side soon enough, so let's see what he can do.
